Katzelkraft - is it Christmas yet?

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card. 

First I stamped the cat and masked it.  Then I worked on the background. I used Salty Ocean (Distress Oxide) to brush the blue color and Mermaid Lagoon to stamp the snowflakes. Added some text prints to the top and right. Used a stencil for the stars. 

Next, I die cut the pine branch, bauble and hanger. Colored the ball with metallic watercolor and alcohol markers. 

Once it was dry, I stamped the cat's reflection onto the bauble, then attached it to the branch with gold thread. 

I removed the mask from the cat and colored it with alcohol markers. Splattered gesso on the card and placed a few blue scribbles under the cat.

Finally, I put together the sentence from various stamps and stuck it next to the cat. I colored the bottom half of each word with Mermaid Lagoon (Distress Oxide) and added snow/gesso to the top.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft creation! ;)
